I took a fountain pen
Drained it all on you
Me and my mountain men
Have got some explaining to do
I broke into town
With fire in my soul
Everything was shut down
Like a gilder without the gold
It used to be a city
Now it's just a film
It used to be so pretty
I don't know if it ever will be again
Systemic changes
And everything starts to rust
Now I'm out chasing pavement
Dodging cars & parts of us
All those early fall days
With all those changing trees
I think that it was always
Nothing more than another day dream
It used to be a city
Now it's just a film
I want to be so pretty
I don't know if I ever will
